Subject Security outlook. Significance On July 23, Afghanistan's northern Faryab province, bordering Turkmenistan, was hit by a powerful explosion that killed 19 people and injured over 35. Earlier this month the Taliban, who are believed to be behind the latest attack, seized control of some 100 villages across the region. While the Afghan army still controls most district centres, there is concern that these forces may soon be overrun. This would endanger neighbouring Turkmenistan, whose security capabilities are limited. Impacts Ashgabat will step up pressure on the few elements of domestic opposition in the name of fighting extremism. Ashgabat's absence from regional security organisations will hamper security coordination with other Central Asian countries. Border security is elusive due to insufficient well-trained border guards, although military and security spending will rise.

Significance Since May the Taliban have taken control of almost all areas adjoining Central Asian borders. A remaining stretch between Turkmenistan and north-western Afghanistan is likely to follow soon. Disrupted trade and a possible refugee influx are not the only worries for regional governments; the presence of Central Asian jihadists in areas captured by the Taliban is cause for concern. Impacts Uzbekistan and Tajikistan may review their refusal to host a US military base, but have many reasons to avoid going ahead. The Uzbek presidency says there are no plans to join Russia's Collective Security Treaty Organisation. Even the most reluctant Central Asian policymakers will have to engage with the Taliban to press them to keep other jihadists in check.
